Growling man on bike attacks man in Seattle park, police say

SEATTLE — Seattle police say a muddy, bloodied man
flagged them down in a park to report he'd been run over with a bicycle
and punched by a man who growled at him.

Police say the victim
fought back as he was being punched and scratched, biting the attacker's
hand. That stopped the attack. The victim reports the attacker then
informed him he was "the toughest guy he has ever wrestled." With that,
the attacker fled.

The unidentified victim says this all happened
Tuesday morning. As he walked his dog in the park, he passed a man
sitting on a bench drinking coffee. As the victim walked by, the man on
the bench growled at him. Moments later, the victim says he heard a
noise, turned and saw the suspect racing toward him on a bicycle.
